Re: [BUG] Unicode filenames handling in `git log --stat`

[Alexander Meshcheryakov <alexander.s.m@gmail.com>]

I believe I have found exact place where strlen is used incorrectly
This is at diff.c:show_stats

https://github.com/git/git/blob/c50926e1f48891e2671e1830dbcd2912a4563450/diff.c#L2623

It probably should be replaced with one of utf8_width, utf8_strnwidth
or utf8_strwidth from utf8.c
